2.) Get the house cleaned up
3.) Continue to rescue animals
4.) Make working out a priority
5.) Get the arbor and fence put in the back yard
6.) Fix the motorcycle and the car

This can and will change
The making out is only going to happen a.) In my dreams – or b.) in my films …

3. Learn guitar
4. Work on my photography more (which will hopefully include some new gear)
5. Not be a jerk (not that I am one now [I hope], I just think everyone should always try to not be a jerk).
I should steal your vegetarian meals idea, too. We eat veggie 1-2 times a week, but I could go for a bit more. I should also learn more vegetarian cooking ideas, since we mostly stick to vaguely indian lentil dishes.

9. cut back on my wine consumption
10. keep in touch with friends and family more often
–Learning stick shift was on last years list!
I did manage that one.
I don’t really like to label the things I want to achieve as resolutions as such, because I think if you want to do something, you should just do it, and not wait for a particular date. HOWEVER, the things we have been working towards…
1. Me getting my provisional greencard and Employment Authorisation Card
2. Getting our finances in order (the 1st will help the latter greatly!)
3. Get our own house (see above ha ha ha)
4. Go back to Europe (for a visit this time to see my family atleast) and to get Patrick’s work to transfer him to the Barcelona office when we are better off
5. Sort out the vegetable patch
6. Convince Patrick that we should have another kid before I shrivel up and dry up inside (this might not be achieved for a few more years dammit)
7. Now Addie is older and more babysit-able, to do more with Patrick, have the dates we should have had etc.
1. start schooling for my BA major in psychology.
2. keep a happy healthy home.
3. keep a happy healthy ME!
4. get the apartment gardens going again this spring.
5. keep a more positive, hopeful outlook on life.
thanks for sharing yours, all the best in 2010.
I aim to CHILL OUT and write more……….
Yoga is the best remedy for the pancake butt, the make out sessions and the anger management.
I hope to be a good mum, sew a lot, and spend more time outside.
[...] bunch of you posted your resolutions here, if you want to let me know how you [...]
1. cook more vegetarian meals – FAIL, we butchered a hog right after i posted this, and ate a lot of meat this year.
2. do my workouts before work – half pass (most got done after work, i still did them)
3. cover my bad tattoos – fail, no ink in 2010
4. sew more apparel – partial fail, i did other crafts and sewing, just noot clothes.
5. get better at mountain biking – pass. I became a well rounded cyclist this year. with stepping up my miles and overcoming fears of riding in traffic.
6. preserve more food from the garden, instead of letting it go to waste – pass and fail. I had some good weeks and so very lazy ones too
7. not let all my seeds die, only to have to buy plants from the nursery – half pass. i was only successful at direct sowing (chard and beans) skipped seed starting all together! (i ordered lots of plants, and i am okay with this!)
8. rid my house of unnecessary plastic objects and chemicals, huge success.
9. cut back on my wine consumption – half way pass. i was really good when i was triathlon training, and when i was biking a lot, holidays are another story
10. keep in touch with friends and family more often – yes, big success. i have cultivated a lot of great relationships this year!
–Learning stick shift was on last years list!
I did manage that one.

2. Totally quit drinking to excess and smoking cigarettes
3. Write down my dreams consistently
4. DIY way more than I am right now
5. Go to more punk shows
